You might think you have the coolest cell phone in the world, but if your ring tone is from the last century, you’re dead in the water before you even get to begin. Nowadays the coolest cell phones need the ability to blast out the coolest ring tones and all the latest MP3’s.
Your cool cell phone is first and foremost a device for communication right? Wrong - today communication takes a back seat to all the other features that are crammed in to the phone.
A cell phone with many great features is an absolute must, but when it is only capable of playing if you are lucky polyphonic ring tones, then the phone can never truly be a cool one.
A few years back, the only sounds we could hear on our cells were monophonic ring tones, how did we survive back then?
Pretty soon, most phones had the ability to play polyphonic tones plus as much of your favorite music as you could fit in your memory.
The switch from monophonic to polyphonic was done so that companies could charge more for their phones than their competitor’s could. Of course this led to a huge demand and sparked fierce competition to be able to have the best ring tones available.
It’s amazing when you compare the primitive phones of just a few years ago with the full on multi-media machines we have today. I have over 30 hours of movies stored on mine for goodness sake!
It is far more likely that the amount of features on a phone and the cost of the contract will be more of an influence than the service provider when it comes to choosing a phone.
If you are happy to sign up for and be locked in to a contract for some time, you will get to have the choice of all the latest cell phones for virtually nothing.
If you have yourself a USB cable, you can download any song you want on to your cell. It’s anyone’s guess what the next big step forward will be in cell phone technology.
